Vacheron Constantin unveils the new Kalla Haute Joaillerie Couture à Pampilles timepiece


The famous Vacheron Constantin house’s legacy can be traced back to the 1820s when one of the first pocket watches designed especially for women was available in Switzerland. This remarkable story of the baguette-shaped wrist watches can be seen in the Kalla Haute Couture à Pampilles watch set today. It is made up of approximately 28.70 carats of gems. The unique feature is its ‘secret’ and extraordinary way of viewing the face of the dial. It vividly reflects the 19th-century tradition of discreetness and elegance. The precious stones conceal and fluidly cover the top. When unfolded, they rhythmically reveal the white gold silhouette set with diamonds all along.

This hand-wound Calibre 1005 is an incredible timepiece so distinct, its dazzling flame and princess cuts are unmistakable. The flame cuts shine with the radiance of 77 facets. This craftsmanship is highly practiced and is a dedicated art followed by the highest quality gem setters. This, of course, has now become a signature design of the famous Vacheron Constantin creations.
